    Abstract: A sign switching circuitry is disclosed. In one aspect, the sign switching circuitry includes a first and second differential common-source amplifier having common differential input nodes and common differential output nodes configured such that a differential input signal applied at the common differential input nodes is amplified to a differential output signal at the common differential output nodes with a fixed gain by the first amplifier and by the fixed gain with opposite sign by the second amplifier. The sign switching circuitry also includes a switching circuitry configured to activate the first common-source amplifier and deactivate the second common-source amplifier to amplify the differential input signal by the fixed gain, and to activate the second common-source amplifier and deactivate the first common-source amplifier to amplify the differential input signal by the fixed gain with opposite sign.

    Abstract: Provided are automatic level control (ALC) circuit, signal source, method for controlling signal source output power, and storage medium. The ALC circuit includes: at least two stages of ALC loops, each ALC loop including an amplifier, a coupler, a power detector, and an attenuation control module connected sequentially. An output end of an adjustable attenuator is connected to an input node of first stage of ALC loop; an output node of each stage of ALC loop, other than last stage of ALC loop, is connected to a normally on end of a two-way single-on switch, a first gating end of the two-way single-on switch is connected to an input node of a next stage of ALC loop, and the output node of the last stage of ALC loop and a second gating end of each two-way single-on switch are connected to an output end of the ALC circuit.

    Abstract: A transmitter includes a dual mode modulator and an amplifier coupled to the dual mode modulator. The dual mode modulator implements a linear modulation scheme during a first mode of the modulator to produce a variable envelope modulated signal. The dual mode modulator implements a non-linear modulation scheme during a second mode of the modulator to produce a constant envelope modulated signal. The amplifier is biased as a linear amplifier during the first mode of the modulator and is biased as a non-linear amplifier during the second mode of the modulator. A feed-forward connection between the dual mode modulator and the amplifier is used to indicate a change in modulation mode and to adjust the bias of the amplifier. A power of the constant envelope modulated signal is increased such that an operating point of the amplifier remains substantially constant during the first and second modes of the modulator.
